What is one quantum of energy for one of atomic oscillators


The interatomic spring stiffness for copper is determined from Young's modulus measurements to be 28 N/m. The mass of one mole of copper is 0.064 kg. If we model a block of 25 copper atoms as a collection of atomic "oscillators" (masses on springs), what is one quantum of energy for one of these atomic oscillators? Note that since each oscillator is attached to two "springs," and each "spring" is half the length of the interatomic bond, the effective interatomic spring stiffness for one of these oscillators is 4 times the calculated value given above. Use kB = 1.38 × 10-23 J/K and ¯h = 1.05 × 10-34 J · s
